A couple I just finished

Post by glennbad »

I just got these out the door last week. The first one was an old shell handle barlow.

Here it is before...pretty dirty inside!

I gave it some new bolsters. I also had some jigged bone that wasn't dyed very deeply to begin with, so I decided to play around with some dye myself. It came out kinda dark brown, and had a lighter shade underneath. Kinda reminds me of the look of stag a little. I left the edges rough, kind of like sawcut bone.

The other is a standard TL-29 mod. Bottom bolsters, reprofiled screwdriver blade, EO notch, ebony covers and shield.
